There are 2 stages for using the territory function.

Start with Stage 1: create boundaries, and assign out territories. This will get everyone accustomed to using the maps instead of a physical territory card. One benefit: If a phone's location function is allowed, it serves as a live marker for their current location inside the territory boundary. If you are using NWS Mobile, now you can assign territories on the spot.

 

Gradually move to Stage 2: Add addresses to each territory. This is where the real power of the system is seen. Now it is easy to assign multiple car groups working the same territory. They will mark each address as Home, Not Home, etc. Later, the system can semi-automatically generate a letter-writing territory from the Not-Homes. All this means you are truly working the territory thoroughly.

 

NOTE: Adding addresses can be a little time-consuming. But the system has a powerful geo-location system that really speeds it up. In a dense residential area, you can probably populate a territory with 200 addresses in about an hour or less (using mouse and keyboard is pretty much required)

We are currently using Alba for our territories, which really is helpful for foreign language territory. Is NWS territory attuned or beneficial for foreign language congregations? Anyone have any experience with that?
